The Anderson Cooper Show

I'm digging the new season. Daily guest host. Only new show with celebrities, not just people with problems. He's live, or at least the same day, not taped two weeks ago, so the topics are current. And he's looser, and yeah gayer. Today he evoked Linda Blair in Roller Boogie. This is the show Oprah should have let Rosie have.

I like the show better too this season. And I love how often Anderson refers to the fact that he's gay and jokes about it. He seems a lot more comfortable about it than I thought he was.

Hilarious! When Jane Velez-Mitchell and the human lie detector woman began to talk about how much Romney was sweating AC intervened and blamed it on the "NEGOTIATIONS" Romney and the President had about the lighting, ari conditioning and what not.

He also recently cut off the human lie detector woman on his nightly show as she began to praise Obama. I wonder how much Romney is paying AC to stan for him on his shows?

Anderson is a little more open and sometimes kind of dirty on the show, last week he was talking about that Zumba instructor who was having sex with her male clients and he said something like how the "the guys who were COMING"...and he then paused for effect and when the audience and co-host D.L. Hugley started to laugh AC said "let me rephrase that" and then said the guys who were "arriving to the studio", but everyone knew what he meant. He has a salacious sense of humor and likes to spring stuff like that on his audience.

It always sounds like he's for Romney but I don't know. His bf's bar co-owners really, really, REALLY HATE Romney and all right wingers (they had a Obama fundraiser recently), so I don't think AC's around a lot of pro-Romney people other than the ones on CNN. I don't think he likes Obama, but it may not be because he's a Democrat either.

The show is a lot better this season, and yes, Anderson is totally gaying out this time, which makes him so much more fun to watch. After he came out, I didn't expect him to constantly remind us about the fact that he's gay, but he really doesn't shy away from it and is constantly making jokes about how little interest he has in women. I wonder how some of his female fans are taking such reminders that he never cared for fish, but personally I love it!

His female fans don't even care about him saying he's not into them, they love him. He has a lot of fans who have followed him for years and he has newer admirers, but no one complains about him not loving women other than to say that they wish he did, but they love him regardless.

R15, I guess he meant it when he said in his coming out statement that he was never uncomfortable or ashamed of being gay and didn't want to leave that impression. Actually, before he came out he used to hint around about how he wasn't into the ladies, like when Kelly Ripa put his high school pic down her shirt as if he'd be DYING to look there but he said "sweetie, that's the LAST place I'd look". He's been leaving hints over the years, but now he's out and letting it all hang out.

The notion that Anderson was uncomfortable about being gay was just a myth. I never got the impression that he was ashamed of being gay, as he's been living his life as a gay man quite openly in NYC for years, going to a gay gym, being regularly seen out and about with his bf, etc... If he really was ashamed, he would have tried to cover his tracks, which he never did. It's not like he tried to beard or pretended to be interested in women, like Travolta or Tom Cruise.

But for a lot of people R19, if someone famous can't PUBLICLY state that they're gay, then it looks to some as though they're trying to hide something or feel ashamed. Even Anderson came to that conclusion ultimately, which is why he finally announced it.

Yes R20, it may have looked to some as though he was ashamed (which Anderson himself addressed in his coming out statement as one of the reasons why he decided to come out), but I'm only pointing out that he certainly didn't try very hard to hide anything even before he came out, which to me showed that he wasn't motivated by shame or a desire to hide.

Anyway, it's a moot point now that he's finally out. And as he keeps reminding us daily on his show, he's quite open about it. More the power to him.

Exactly. It's not as if he tried not to be photographed with Ben. It's not as if Ben had to walk six paces behind. It's not as if Ben sat in the back row while Anderson sat down in front. It's not as if Anderson sat with a woman at the Daytime Emmey awards show. None of those things happened. Thanks for pointing out how open he was, r19. It's great to have someone speaking the truth.

R22 conveniently ignores all the instance when AC and Ben were seen together out and about, and were even photographed at public events (such as the Vanity Fair Oscar party, which they both attended several times, as evidenced in the following link).

I stand by my comment, which is that Anderson really wasn't all that concerned about hiding the fact that he was gay before he came out.

Even before he came out, Anderson has been dropping hints about being gay for years (as r16 pointed out), one would have to be blind to miss it. Yet for some mysterious reasons, that was never obvious to the delusional DL fraus that are always polluting the AC threads with the fish stench of their hysterics. They would argue for days on end with anyone suggesting that he was gay by coming up with elaborate stories about him having a secret girlfriend. Funny how quiet they've become on that topic once he finally came out and unequivocally stated that he wasn't bisexual, but 100% gay. Where are all those posters who claimed for years that AC was bi?

It is very strange that he and "YOU" have to keep saying he's not into women. Who is he trying to convince? HIMSELF? Because most of us already know and have known for a very long time who he bats for. Maybe he's trying to convince himself and still feels really guilty that his dick got hard when he was standing next to Keli while she was working out on her show a few years ago.

Only a delusional Anderfrau would think that Anderson was getting a boner from working out with Kelly (and not Keli, you illiterate redneck). I remember that segment, and he wasn't hard. Just because he was showing a bit of a package wearing tight sweatpants doesn't mean he was aroused. You might know this if you had any experience with men, which obviously you don't R26. Maybe you should check out one of the "Guys presenting their dicks" threads to get an idea of what a hard cock looks like.

"Anderson Live" should be renamed "The Gayderson Show"!

And yes R38, R26 is seriously retarded. She's probably the one delusional voice who kept arguing that AC was bi on DL for years and that he had a secret girlfriend. "See, he's getting a boner from working out next to Kelly, he must like women too!"

I really love how Anderson is so open now about how gay he is. He had this "girlfriend pillow" thing on his show and said he'd only use it just to see what it was like to sleep with a girl, then he said he'd love to have a boyfriend pillow, not that he really needs one, but I just liked hearing him say it anyway. He may not ever talk about being in a relationship, but there's no doubt about the team he plays for now, he seems very happy to make it clear every day.

It's also interesting how Martina McBride was reacting to him yesterday. She seemed very annoyed and uncomfortable him. She was very quiet looked like she really didn't want to be there.

That leads me to this. AC seems almost buffonish when talking about his "gayness". A buffoon is someone like a clown or a person who makes fun of themselves (at their expense) to entertain others. He makes fun of the "gayness" on a daily basis just to get a laugh from the audience.

I never see Ellen doing that or even Nate Burkus when he was on tv or even Suze Orman. They are gay but they let their "personalities" define them not their gayness. He's making a fool out of himself and engages in this behavior on a daily basis just to get people to laugh at him. This is why I am CONVINCED he came out for the RATINGS and not because it was his civic duty.

"So which one is it, R69? Because if AC was "ashamed and lived the life of a straight man for over 25 years" as you emphatically claim, how could he be at the same time "out to his co-workers and friends?"

Being out to his co-workers and friends is not being "out" for the who world to see NUTTY BUDDY and you know this. His friends and family protected him. Please don't play DUMB or maybe you ARE really DUMB.

Read this very carefully:

HE WOULDN'T HAVE COME OUT A FEW MONTHS AGO TO THE WORLD as a gay man IF HE WERE "OUT" all of those years and living his life publicly as a gay man. There would be absolutely no reason to. He was living as a closeted gay man and that's not disputable. Comprende.

and R72 There is a difference in being proud of who you are (Ellen Degeneres, Neil Patrick Harris) and making a fool of yourself and your lifestyle (Anderson Cooper) to impress other people. A big difference.

Exactly R95. There's only one crazy homophobe who keeps bitching about AC being too gay now that he's out, and that's R92/R93/R94. Go somewhere else with your freeper shit!

I'm sure AC and Ben have a state-of-the-art alarm system at the firehouse, so there's no need to leave all the lights on when they're away to prevent burglars, r87. I think someone once mentioned seeing cameras near the entrance too. All the lights were on in the photo at R85's link because they were probably home then.

About Anderson being a Republican..I don't know for sure if he is but I used to work as an AP for CNN International and CNN is/was very sensitive to the fact that some people thinking they were too liberal. In fact, we made a deliberate effort to be harder on liberal guest. I am sure this is why he may talk about Romney in a positive light. As for Anderson donating to a republican candidate. He did do this but is was many years ago and it was to a guy running in a small town election.....hardly earth shattering. Also, considering he is gay and the friends he hangs out with, and the fact that his bf has held democratic fund raisers it doesn't really add up to him being a Republican.

I believe this, it's VERY evident in CNN's reporting and in how the anchors like AC and Wolf treat liberal guests and pundits on their shows. Soledad is the only one who doesn't suck up to conservatives.

With the failure of "Anderson Live," maybe AC will pay attention to building an audience for 360.

Judging by this photo and another tweet I saw, he was also at EB last Saturday too. Looks like he's talking to Ben.

The Daily Mail has an article about AC and Ben out and about after hurricane Sandy.

Interestingly, they don't even bother to mention the so-called "cheating pics" of Ben kissing that other guy, as they seem to have finally realized that this was not the cheating scandal that they were hoping for when they broke the story back in August. It looks more and more like those pics were indeed much older than what the Daily Mail initially reported.

Why does it look more and more that they were "much older" than reported? Where are you getting this information?

It would be interesting to know if this is a fact or simply some Benderson Frau wanting the photos to be of a time long ago.

It's a fact that Ben looked very different in the pics of him leaving the firehouse on his bike that were taken a week after the kissing pics: he was a lot more muscular and his arms were much bigger. There's no way to explain this except if the kissing pics were significantly older than what the Daily Mail claimed. Since they got a lot of their story wrong (they had reported that AC and Ben had broken up), that wouldn't be too surprising.

The reason the Daily Mail did not mention the cheating scandal is because they know the pictures were leaked from the AC's camp. It's quite obvious don't you think especially now that we all know his show is being cancelled.

I've been saying this for months all of the publicity from the cheating scandal, to coming out, to the Star Jones beef was just a ploy to get him MORE ratings and it didn't work. It was ALL from him or his camp.

Not a surprise for me. The difference between you and ME is I don't have a problem saying he SUCKS when he sucks. Call me a frau, cunt, bitch, etc until your blue in the face.

Why on earth would Anderson's "camp" leak pics of him and Ben walking around their neighborhood to the Daily Mail, R130? Do you really believe that AC, who's in fact notoriously private, is that desperate for attention? He's not Lindsay Lohan, you know. Besides, I fail to see how a couple of pics of AC and Ben walking in the street would have any impact on his ratings. And why would he be concerned about increasing the ratings of a talk show that isn't going to be renewed anyway? Your theory makes no sense.

I like the fact that Cooper is more open and more himself, but don't like the way the show is broken up into so many different segments -- "The First Fifteen", a new cohost every day, a serious topic, then worst of all, Anderson at the very end talking about how much he liked this guest or that segment, etc.

It needs focus.

Anderson Cooper got his own October Surprise last week — his afternoon talk show is going out of business at the end of the season.

The show, renamed “Anderson Cooper Live” in September, was the victim of poor ratings and higher-than-normal costs.

“It was a very expensive show,” said one insider — $20 to $25 million a month, according to reliable estimates versus $10 to $15 million for an average show.

The company producing the show — Telepictures, an arm of Time Warner — was actually losing money on it, unusual for a syndicated daytime show, according to sources, with little chance of getting into the black any time soon.

The announcement last Monday came just hours ahead of Hurricane Sandy striking the East Coast and the news hardly made a dent.

While some questioned the timing, it was, at least in part, dictated by the contracts local stations — like Ch. 5 here, which airs the show weekdays at noon — had with Cooper’s syndicator.

Telepictures had to tell stations by Oct. 31 if Cooper would be back in fall 2013 — and to the surprise of many, the syndicator said, “no.”

“The stations loved the show,” says the insider. “It was a perfect lead-in to the early news. They were shocked.”

It was Cooper, according to another source, who insisted that Telepictures announce immediately that the show was ending — not something that is customarily done in October, because the show still has seven months to run.

It's probably only because they gave away so much free shit.

Anyway, I am getting caught up on my DVR and just watched the Nancy Grace episode - I have long hated this woman, but she is even more scary and odd than I thought. Her demeanor during hot topics or whatever was frighteningly manic, speaking to AC as if he was one of her twins.
